Effects of altitude on the gut microbiome and metabolomics of Sanhe heifers.
Article in Frontiers in microbiology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: Extreme environments at high altitudes pose a significant physiological challenge to animals. We evaluated the gut microbiome and fecal metabolism in Sanhe heifers from different altitudes. Methods: Twenty Sanhe heifers (body weight: 334.82 ± 13.22 kg, 15-month-old) selected from two regions of China: the Xiertala Cattle Breeding Farm in Hulunbeier, Inner Mongolia [119°57' E, 47°17' N; approximately 700 m altitude, low altitude (LA)] and Zhizhao Dairy Cow Farm in Lhasa, Tibet [91°06' E, 29°36' N; approximately 3,650 m altitude, high altitude (HA)], were used in this study. Fecal samples were collected and differences in the gut microbiota and metabolomics of Sanhe heifers were determined using 16S rRNA gene sequencing and metabolome analysis. Results and discussion: The results showed that altitude did not significantly affect the concentrations of fecal volatile fatty acids, including acetate, propionate, butyrate, and total volatile fatty acids (
